Right Lane: Jared Dreher Runs 5.678/241.54, Now #11

enough to put him in the top half of the field. Left Lane: Randy Meyer Runs 5.366/252.14, Now #2

Meyer took over the number two spot in the order with a good trip down the track. He started to get close to the center
line after he got past the 660 foot marker, but did not get close to crossing over. Left Lane: Duane Shields Runs 5.396/266.58, Now #3
Right Lane: Rich McPhillips Runs 11.387/63.42, Now #16
